For some reason any box I make in organic perspective turn out the same. What are some ways I can make the boxes appear more rotated to other boxes?
I think all you need to achieve that is to play with all possible orientations and side lengths of the initial Y-shape. If you have too much trouble with that in the beginning, you may try using the online tool Uncomfortable recommends in the 250box challenge section.
You're probably drawing the front corner (the Y shape) the same at the start of all your boxes. Play around with the angles between the lines to vary the boxes.
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
